Abstract

The animal production sector in Egypt suffers from insufficient availability of concentrated feed to meet nutritional needs. The research aimed to study and analyze the current situation of fodder in Egypt. The results showed that the average amount of green fodder in Egypt amounted to about 56.03 million tons, about 12.66 million tons for dry fodder, and about 7.49 million tons for concentrated feed. The average total feed requirement for digested food compounds and digested protein reached about (15.03, 1.40) million tons during the study period (2007-2021). The results also show that there is a surplus of green and dry fodder, with the percentage of available coverage of fodder needs reaching about 167.96% and 158.10%, while the results showed a deficit in concentrated feed of about 5.83 million tons, with the percentage of available coverage of required needs estimated at about 56.23% during the average period study. It is also clear from the results that if it is possible to use about 50% of the agricultural Waste under study by recycling it into non-traditional fodder, it will result in the manufacture of concentrated feed estimated at about 36.51 thousand tons of straw, about 728.27 thousand tons of Dry Stalks, and about 249.05 thousand tons of rice straw. And about 271.68 thousand tons of sugar beet and peanut, This will result in reducing the deficit in the feed balance by about 56.67% during the average period of the study.
